Letter to the I: Trump is right

Donald Trump is right about one thing; Europe needs to spend more on defence.  Germany in particular is paralysed in defence matters by post-war guilt and political interests that want to appease Russia.  It is true that if Europe took up more of the defence burden the US could spend less on it.  However Trump's previous conduct does not suggest that he wants to spend defence savings on building healthcare or education.  Most likely he wants more tax giveaways for his rich friends.  He has said the right thing for the wrong reasons.
